Hello all, there is currently not so much things to configure in PostgreSQL from systemd's service point of view (not taking postgresql.conf into account), concretely, we configure PGPORT and PGDATA, from which the later is important (and often re-configured to point e.g. to some dedicated mount point, etc.). That tells systemd's unit file where it should start PostgreSQL server from.
What does not seem to be quite 100% OK is that, when user wants to change PGDATA, we instruct him to make a separate service file: $ cat /etc/systemd/system/postgresql.service .include /usr/lib/systemd/system/postgresql.service [Service] Environment=PGDATA=/some/other/place/than/default This works OK -- but the problem is that it is quite too much for just changing one simple directory path. What seems to be better approach is to have real configuration file, such one for which '$ rpm -qc postgresql-server' would not be quiet. Lets say: $ cat /etc/postgresql/postgresql PGDATA=/some/other/place/than/default With some additional packager's work, that allows us to do yet another configuration easily - and that is multiple PostgreSQL running on one single machine (on different ports or IPs). The only thing would be to create yet another file: $ cat /etc/postgresql/postgresql@com_example PGDATA=/some/path/pg/com_example PGPORT=@SOMEPORT@ $ systemctl start postgresql@com_example Would you see something bad on that approach (please, take into account that we would not stop supporting the old way, we just want to make future configuration easier and straight-forward).
